Brownstoner reports that the six-story, five-unit mixed-use building at 79 Grand Street in Williamsburg has topped-out. A retail component will measure nearly 1,590 square feet on the ground level, and Philip Toscano Architects is designing. The nearly 8,000 square-foot building is currently getting its façade, and completion is likely later this year.
Newly filed construction applications have helped realize Geneva Partners’ development plans for an assemblage of lots spanning 1629-1637 43rd Street, in eastern Borough Park near Kensington. Five three-story buildings will hold 15 units, which will be divided across 19,500 square feet of residential space. Kenneth Thomas is designing, and three dilapidated 2.5-story structures were demolished this past March.
The co-op board comprising 20 units representing the seven-story, 20,000 square-foot building at 159-161 Remsen Street, in Brooklyn Heights, has placed the property on the market for $30 million. Per The Real Deal, the building is being advertised as a development site, and demolishing the existing structure would allow a new 45,000 square foot structure. The building was converted to residential use in 1982.
Brownstoner reports the vacant lot at 1294 Bushwick Avenue, in southern Bushwick, as well as the three-story townhouse at No. 1296, are on the market as a development site for $1.25 million. The site is pre-approved for two buildings and a total of six units — the existing townhouse is to be kept and expanded under approved plans. An LLC had acquired the two lots for only $605,000 last year in April.
An LLC has filed applications for a four-story, 16-unit residential building measuring 15,800 square feet at the lots 1702-1706 Newkirk Avenue, in southern Flatbush. Richard J. Walsh, of Citiscape Consulting LTD, is the architect of record, and an existing three-story wood-framed structure must first be demolished.
